PROSPECTS

Credit cards continue to grow amid cautious optimism

In 2018, credit cards saw substantial value growth, returning to pre-recession levels. Ease of use, increased security features like fraud protection and social security number monitoring, and a high variety of rewards have positioned credit cards at the top of mind among US consumers.

Small business credit cards flourish

During 2018, commercial credit card growth outpaced personal credit card growth in the US. Although the total number of commercial credit cards in circulation is only a fraction of that for personal credit cards, average transaction size is significantly higher.

New generation of digital wallets

In pursuit of a smoother experience while paying at sales points, consumers in the US have increased their use of mobile wallets. Although transactions from mobile wallets only account for a small percentage of total transactions, they are expected to increase over the forecast period.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Travel reward cards taking-off

Issuers across the country continue to expand their travel rewards portfolio as new cards compete for US consumers. The travel rewards credit cards segment has traditionally included partnerships with hospitality groups and airlines.

American Express focusing on millennials

After losing Costco’s co-branded portfolio to Citigroup in 2016 due to high merchant fees, American Express has shifted its focus away from its traditional affluent consumer base to a larger consumer segment: millennials. The bank created a tailored offering known as “Plan it”, which allows users to create an interest-free payment plan with set instalments for higher value purchases, all via a mobile app.

Starbucks transforms current loyalty programme

In February 2018, Starbucks launched its Starbucks Rewards Visa Card, a co-branded card from JP Morgan Chase. The brand has excelled in becoming an essential part of consumers’ lifestyles and continues to do so through the launch of the credit card.
